The resolution presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for emergency modifications to Contract No. CW119504 with CORE DC, LLC, which provides short-term family housing. Specifically, it addresses three modifications: M0005, M0006, and proposed M0007, which collectively increase the contract's not-to-exceed amount for option year one from $2,068,216.18 to $3,799,729.90. The modifications are necessary to ensure the continuation of essential services and to authorize payment for goods and services already received and to be received under the contract.

The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, as the modifications will raise the contract's value beyond $1 million within a 12-month period, necessitating Council approval under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Without this approval, CORE DC, LLC would be unable to receive payment for services rendered from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The Council is urged to act promptly to facilitate the necessary funding and ensure the ongoing provision of vital housing services.
